VALENTINE'S DAY was a lot of fun this year, we went to dinner & watched movies w/friends! It also made me miss my mom though! That probably sounds strange, V-day is not usually a holiday in where one misses their parents.... but I did! My mom has a tradition that she does for her kids every Valentine's Day that she calls our Hearts Desire Dinner! Each person in the family gets to choose ANYTHING from a restaraunt that they want for dinner that night. She started this tradition after I left home (we used to have a silly supper for V-day, but she moved that tradition to April Fools Day) but still every year I wish I was home for it :) . She is so awesome and I love that she puts in an effort to make holidays special & memerable for us kids!
This year I know that little sis Ashley wanted lettuce wraps from PF Changs; brother Adam wanted a chicken cordon bleu sandwich from Arbys; and his fiance Ally wanted chicken alfredo from The Pizza Factory. I didn't ever find out what my other 2 brothers wanted. My mom had plans on running to all these different places until she couldn't find the time. She then changed the rules (for this year) that they could pick any restaraunt inside the American Fork (Utah) city limits :) I hope they all had fun eating thier take out boxes together around the table! I sure wish I could have been there. It got me thinking though what I would have chosen..... hhhmmm...... in the AF city limits, I probably would have chosen the margarita grilled chicken (minus all the extras that come with it like the beans and all that) from Chili's or the braised beef and tortoloni from The Olive Garden. Both are DELICIOUS!!! If I had to choose something from inside the ML city limits (hahaha lots to choose from there) it would definately have to be the chicken & beef fajitas from El Rodeo. YUM!
So let's have some fun! If we had our own Hearts Desire Dinner... what would everyone choose?
DANG!.... NOW I'M STARVING AND IT'S ONLY 9:27AM .....
